Zoella Beauty Christmas 2017 First Impressions

I know that it's only September but here is a long awaited beauty launch for Christmas 2017 - The Zoella beauty Christmas line. Last year I decided to purchase more Lush bits and pieces around Christmas and so gave the Zoella range a miss, I ended up picking up the Gingerbread scented hand cream in the January sales which I loved so I feel like I missed out! But it's so easy to get lost in the cliche Christmas gingerbread and cinnamon scented beauty items once the season to be jolly commences, so I'm very happy that the scent of these items are not traditionally Christmas scented. That being said, I feel like this scent could have been applied to any season- Peony, Winter Cranberry & Mint. This range smells and feels very luxurious, almost Jo Malone-esque and so I think this is aimed at young adults-adults as opposed to previous ranges that have felt very teenage aimed. Here are the items that I managed to get my hands on...

Snow Silky Body Lotion

First up, I adore the packaging for this product - combining whites, greys, coppers and pinks to make this super instagram worthy and visually pleasing.

I would say this is has a medium consistency, being the perfect in-between of delivering good hydration but not being overly heavy.

It has a beautiful fresh scent and is the perfect everyday moisturiser.

Winter Wonder Hand

Again, the packaging for this is beautiful! The bottle is the same design as last year in terms of how big it is and the lid that unscrews which I actually love- it allows you to get every last drop of product out.

The hand cream is super hydrating and absorbs easily and so is the perfect handbag addition for A/W.

Snow Scoop

I was so so happy to see that there was a bubble bath within this range, what's even better is that it comes in 400ml tub so there's plenty to last throughout A/W.

This smells a little sweeter than other products in the range but still smells beautiful, I can't wait to use this!

Snow Fresh Body Wash

I love the original Zoella beauty shower gel so I'm excited to use this to see how it compares. It has the same scent as the rest of the range and comes in a beautifully packaged grey, white, pink and copper bottle.

Snow Polished

I love it when exfoliators come in tubes as it makes them super easy and convenient to use in the shower. This is a fairly light exfoliator so perfect for A/W when you don't want anything too harsh.

Snow Smooth Body Butter

I really love this, the consistency reminds me of The Body Shop's body butters and at a fraction of the price! In Winter skin tends to become drier and so something a little heavier is definitely needed (goodbye dry knees and elbows!)

This is only a small 100ml pot so I'm sure i'll be repurchasing this soon!

Splash of Milk Bath Milk Powder

I've never used a bath milk powder before so i'm looking forward to seeing how this compares to a bath bomb, this is supposed to be really moisturising and relaxing so I'm excited to give this a try.

I actually really like the look of a lot of these products, I haven't tried anything at all from Zoella beauty partly because the products seem a little young for me but also I have heard mixed reviews however I have heard so many good things about this range! -xo
